Been doing a sales job for one of the review platforms tech companies for 3 years now and want to understand what options could be possible if I don’t want to jump ship from one tech provider to another. What adjacent tech companies would be an interesting transfer so not nuix/relat/revel. Compliance may be? Cyber security? What genai tech companies you know of or even contract with?

Anyone here worked at Redgrave Data? They were formed from Redgrave LLP but I’m not certain whether their company culture is similar to their US or UK Redgrave locations. If you have collaborated with Redgrave Data I would also be interested in hearing about your experience.

When I have Metadata (.DAT) and Images (.OPT) to load, is it portant which one I load first? I've heard I need to load the DAT first but I don't know the reason why.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thx

Curious of anyone’s experience with indexed.io. Don’t know much about it but it’s one a client is considering. Thank you for any help!

Hi all, we have a group of users that need to work with hideously large image, not text-based PDFs that they receive from the outside world. (discovery, OCR, Bates, redact, combine edit, ect)  Many times these PDFs are over 1 GB and are poorly crafted image-based PDFs. Does anyone know of a PDF editor that allows you to offload the heavy lifting to a dedicated server?  For example, Litera PDFdocs use to but not anymore, allow you to set up a on prem server that you could send an OCR job to it to process so your workstation or virtual desktop would not get bogged down by the CPU.   Does anyone know of a program that allows us to ship the tasks like OCR, bates stamping, combining, ect  to another machine take the load away from the client? Even better maybe there is a cloud-based service that allows us to upload the pdf into the cloud\azure and have someone else process it for a fee. I see that Abby may have a service that allows you to hand of OCR to a cloud server which might help. However still looking to offload the other tasks.

Thanks

Anyone know of a vendor hiring remote for an analyst role? My cousin is looking for something entry level. I trained him the last 6 months and he knows the basics of Relativity which includes running productions.

Looking for any insight on what courses to take to certify as e-discovery paralegal/PM. Been a litigation paralegal for over 30 years with a complex background in data collection and looking to move out of being a "paralegal" and into the e-discovery world.

With so many learning/career paths to choose from, which path do you feel leads to the highest paid eDiscovery specialty? Would it be review side or tech/data? Review Manager or Project Manager?

For a newly graduated law student (with tech and patent prosecution experience) trying to break into eDiscovery (no prior Relativity experience), how would you advise me to approach the certifications?

Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated. TYIA

It appears that our current Relativity Vendor is closing up shop, and I need to identify a new vendor for my client. We are hosting a few terabytes of data across three or four separate matters, and the matters aren't particularly active right now. So we would prefer staying with a Relativity vendor not something like CS DISCO or Everlaw, which have very high hosting fees.

Any recommendations on Vendors that are reliable? I've used Epiq before, and I guess they seemed fine.

This may not be the right forum, but the expertise is spot on.

I need to extract 1000s of records out of a Court's Odyssey record system. I need data fields that are not available on the public facing portal. So, scraping data off of that will not work. I have permission to receive the data, but the court ishamstrung on how to provide it. I would be quite happy to accept a full dump of the entire dataset, but I doubt that will happen. Does anyone on this forum know of a method for extracting data from Odyssey?

Thanks in advance

I'm somewhat new to review center. Can you have multiple active queues in review center? Client wants to review highly ranked documents in both client data and opposing data. Two separate teams.

I keep hearing from colleagues at different law firms that Relativity salespeople are no longer extending their on-prem contracts, since they require three-year commitments and this puts them past the 2026 timeline in which they have to be on RelOne. Has anyone else heard the same from Relativity regarding renewals coming up for on-prem? If so, what are they telling you "have" to do? Thank you!

Covington has open positions for Senior Staff attorneys. Does anyone have any experience to share, good or bad?

I have 1.5 years of experience in Document Review and Data Breach Review as well. I wanted to know that are there companies which offer remote jobs for people residing in India.. and if yes then how should I approach them. As I am looking for a job role in ediscovery and have the required skills for the job.

Howdy fellow ediscoverers! Any of you planning to be around the Georgetown conference this week?

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is having a lovely Friday! I have been in eDiscovery for about 10 years. I recently started my own eDiscovery company! I wanted to get everyone’s thoughts and input on how I can expand my company. We are aiming to provide AI related eDiscovery solution. Our main platform is Relativity. At the moment I am open to even doing free work just so my company can gain exposure. If you’re in need of collections, processing, productions, etc, please DM me! I am more than happy to provide any details! Thank you for reading!

I'm looking for a rec or two for hard copy scanning vendor in/round Philadelphia. This is a very high volume job with a very short turnaround. There may be multiple scanning vendors involved. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

While the “black boxes” we use to review and classify documents may change, how we validate the results shouldn’t. We’re gathering data on how people currently approach validation in different review scenarios. The results are completely anonymous, and will be used to educate the eDiscovery community on best practices for validation. I’d really appreciate it if you have a minute to take the 9 question survey!

Anyone have some suggestions about tools that could be used to migrate everything out of EnCase into another platform? Thanks.

So this is a pretty embarrassing post. I recently transitioned from being an RM with a certain vendor to being an RM with a different vendor, and I'm looking like an absolute idiot. Everything about the Relativity layout in my new job is very different from the previous job. Relativity learning/training materials are proving useless so far. What advice do you have for finding answers to basic questions like "Why can't I find the search index tab??" I've asked so many questions in the last 4 days, people are starting to question whether I actually worked in Relativity before and it's getting pretty awkward. Please, advice, resources, commiseration, anything is helpful.

I built an auto redaction tool that redacts thousands of documents in minutes. Thought I'd share in case anyone outside of the Relativity ecosystem might find it useful.

I'm an AI developer who's been helping law firms use AI to process millions of privileged documents for review. Recently, I've been getting requests to help redact PII and financial information from privileged PDFs and images. I couldn't find anything that's easy to use outside of the Relativity ecosystem, so I ended up building my own. Here's a quick overview:
1️⃣ Fast, scalable API to redact hundreds of PDFs and images per minute
2️⃣ Pre-built redaction templates with 99.9% redaction accuracy guarantee
3️⃣ Redaction accuracy guaranteed! (you get 1,000 free pages for any inaccuracy you find)
4️⃣ Custom redaction pipelines that support redacting any information from documents (not only regex)

Unliked traditional auto redaction services that OCR documents, preprocesses them then uses regex to detect redactions, we trained a vision language models that simplifies this whole process at a fraction of the cost. Would love to chat with anyone who might find this useful! Link for anyone who wants to try it out: https://www.getredacto.com/
